Well, if you're under 55, then the actual death rate is nearly meaningless.
I seem to recall someone claiming that the median age of those that died was 78. No one wants to go before their time, but COVID is not very deadly for those that are fairly healthy and younger.

Follow Ups:
Covid-19 gives people a push towards death - older people are more likely to fall over the edge. Why? Because they are closer to death.
But just because someone "recovers" doesn't mean they didn't get a push and maybe even a bigger push. Early onset heart disease and/or COPD and who knows what kind of cancers or other ailment will spring up thanks to the damage done by the virus.
In the long run Covid-19 could cost younger people much more life than it has cost the elderly.
Those look like Feb. number from the Heritage Foundation. Actual dead by now in the US would be quite a bit higher than in the info below. At least say 34,000 dead from Covid-19 under 55. Pretty meaningless, especially if you're not one of them. I'm reading that the variants are targeting younger people so these number could change real soon.
